So just ordered my Stillen SC

I can't remember if it was 1000 or that was for something else specifically in someones build but I remember about the break in for the unit itself and some people had issues.

thanks for the heads up about the hot start, I'll let the tuner know, they have installed the SC kit before and tuned it, so hopefully they know about it. Anything else specifically that might cause a problem?

Besides that, on the tuning side, just check hot/cold starts, make sure the idle seems to be in check. Have them adjust the fan speeds to kick on a little sooner.

You is correct.



Correct me if I'm wrong, the impeller upgrade is the better overall upgrade, because instead of using more power to drive the SC, the air just has better flow...?
